David Blackbird McKinsey

I'm an independent Pagan, comfortable with a few different labels but "Lokean Priest" I feel is the most direct. As many Pagans of various stripes may tell you, I have a background in Christianity. With specific experience in the Church of Christ, I left in 2016 due to abusive behaviors and living situation, resulting in a diagnosis of c-PTSD in 2020.

I am a white, bisexual transgender man who, instead of living with many of the typical symptoms of c-PTSD, have found an equal and opposite venue for my unique energy. Having self-initiated into my beliefs in late 2019, I've been ordained in effort to become a resource for those routinely excluded from a Christian-centered society. I specialize in services toward the LGBT+ community, and interracial relationships (particularly in officiant capacity), as well as more general Pagan and witchcraft-oriented needs - I only ask that I'm paid for my time and resources.

My personal spirituality is non-evangelical, with emphasis on my own actions rather than the indoctrination of others. Even if you're looking for a secular ceremony, my aim is to offer my time and energy as a blessing, in whatever context you'd like to accept it in.
